Michelle Yeoh, Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones in a scene from ‘Star Trek: Discovery.’ — Handout via TheHive.AsiaLOS ANGELES, May 18 — CBS has finally released the first trailer for Star Trek: Discovery, the TV spinoff of the iconic series set 10 years before the original Star Trek.

And with that, we finally get to see the first look of Malaysian actress Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou, Captain of the Shenzhou fleet.

Apart from the trailer, the first official image of the series also arrived at the same time, featuring Yeoh and her co-star as well as main heroine, Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham, who has served under Georgiou for seven years.

The photo shows the two officers dressed for desert exploration as they find themselves on a presumably unrevealed planet, suggesting that the new show will fully embrace its “discovery” moniker.
